Yeah, 110k and the rest of the rod bearings looked horrible too. Almost looked like corrosion pitting in them but at nearly 20k/yr I wouldn't expect any such issues inside the engine.

Oh well I'll fix her up, just annoying. Subaru is lucky they make cars that drive really well because otherwise this is the cheapest bag of bolts I've ever played with. Whisper thin paint, cheap interior and so on. Then you go for a drive and all the negatives go away.

They may use some cheaper stuff on the interiors, but they do last. My daily driver for the last 16 years is a 2000 Legacy GT Limited. Frankly, I haven't treated it well and it looks beat-up, but I've put ~178,400 miles on it myself with very little $$ being put into it..
